‘Lightning Under the Lights’ games May 2 at Woodbridge Senior High School

The Dale City “LIGHTNING” Track Club (DCTC) is hosting “Lightning Under the Lights” 2015 DCTC Relay Games, on Saturday, May 2, 2015, at Woodbridge Senior High School.

The meet will highlight athletes from Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia, competing in several relays and 100m and 1600m events. The goal of the DCTC Relay Games is to offer athletes a fun track event and allow coaches to continue developing and training their athletes in a competition setting.

“DCTC is excited about hosting our first track meet and wanted the event to resemble the famous Penn Relays Games,” stated Head Coach Monte Evans. “Our meet will give the young athletes an opportunity to work together as relays teams, run under the lights at night, and have a good time.”

DCTC introduces kids of all abilities to sprinting, hurdles, distance running and field events such as the shot put, turbo javelin toss and long jump. DCTC promotes good sportsmanship, nutrition motivates our athletes to improve their physical conditioning, and instills leadership skills to help our youth build a positive self-image. DCTC has roughly 125 youth athletes registered for the Spring track season.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”

Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
